    My first thought was “why would you ever buy it in amounts less than an 8th, that’s not much” but I guess I had heard of such a thing as a dime bag which I have only just now learned was 1g. I always thought it meant “$10 worth” or something, and was for tourists who didn’t know they were paying too much for too little.

      A dime bag is $10 worth, it is often more than a G—2-3.5 grams depending on quality. A nickel bag is .75 to 1g usually. Both will be backyard or Mexican weed, usually, which is how the price is so low.

      People buy in amounts less than an 8th for one simple reason—being poor. If you wanted hydroponic weed in the early 2000’s, it cost more money than some people had. I was actually stoked when I got my first hookup for ghetto backyard weed because I could finally afford the amount I wanted rather than paying top dollar for “dro” (hydroponic weed).
